Vehicles manufactured by
Porsche demonstrate that even
high-performance sportscars
can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emis-
sion values in their respective
category.
The balance is exemplary: the
4.8-litre V8 engines of the
Panamera S models comply
with both the Euro 5 emission
standards in Europe and the
ULEV regulations in the USA.

The Panamera Turbo meets
the requirements of Euro U5
and LEV.
This is achieved through the use
of fuel-efficient technologies such
as direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 46)
and VarioCam Plus (p. 47).
Efficient emission control is
achieved by a two-stage cascade-
type catalytic converter,
which comprises two monoliths
arranged in series. These
specially coated substrates
contain ultra-fine honeycomb
channels in which pollutants
are converted as exhaust gas
passes through.
